Marmomac Renews Sponsorship of MIA+BSI Grande Pinnacle Award

OBERLIN, Ohio & CHESTERTOWN, N.Y. – Marmomacc agreed today to renew its sponsorship of the MIA+BSI’s Grande Pinnacle Award for the next three years.

Marmomac has sponsored the top honor in the industry’s Pinnacle Awards since its inception in 2008.

The Grande Pinnacle Award is presented to the best overall project entered in the Pinnacle Awards. The winner will receive a trip to Marmomac 2018, including round-trip economy airfare, four nights lodging, and registration.

One architect from the winning project will also receive this award.

In announcing the renewal, MIA+BSI CEO Jim Hieb stated: “We look forward to continuing this important partnership with Marmomac,” said Jim Hieb, MIA+BSI CEO. “The Grande Pinnacle represents the best use of natural stone in the Pinnacle Awards, and as such, it makes perfect sense for the winner to receive a trip to Verona to attend Marmomac.

We appreciate Marmomac’s support of this prestigious program.”

Veronafiere Deputy Marketing Director Elena Amadini added that, “Marmomac and MIA+BSI share the goal of promoting the use of natural stone by engaging the design community and challenging it to use stone in increasingly aesthetic and diverse ways. Our sponsorship of the Grande Pinnacle Award is thus a perfect fit in pursuit of this common goal.”

The deadline to enter the 2017 Pinnacle Awards is July 21. The Pinnacle Awards honor projects whose beauty, creativity, and craftsmanship exemplify professional mastery in the use of natural stone in residential and commercial applications.

For the first time, applicants may simultaneously submit projects this year for both the Pinnacle and Tucker Design Awards. The Tucker Design Awards honor architects who have achieved excellence in design using natural stone in building or landscape projects. Additional entry fees apply.
